Letters to the Editor 05-10-2001

- Police Chases - Vanlaningham Scholarship - Senior ESP Police Chases Editor, Times-Union: After reading the article in Monday's paper about the police chase and subsequent crash, I thought it painfully ironic that it has been 10 years to the month that my son was killed in a similar police chase.Fortunately in Monday's accident, the unsuspecting residents only lost a house and the officer sustained only minor injuries. I am not condoning what the cyclist or my son did, fleeing police.But with all of the modern technology (computers, video cameras, etc.) that police departments have at their disposal, shouldn't they consider changing their chase procedures? I question if these chases are really necessary ...just food for thought.

Advocates Offer Help To Victims Of Violence

Sometimes a kind word or a helping hand can make all the difference in the world. For Kosciusko County victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, that helping hand is most often extended by the members of the county's Domestic Violence Task Force who are known as victim's advocates. The advocates volunteer their time to be "on call" in three eight-hour shifts per day, said Joanna Beatson, the victim's advocate coordinator for the Victim Service Center. Currently, the VSC has approximately 10 to 12 advocates, but the ideal number, Beatson said, is 15 to 20. Advocates carry beepers furnished by the VSC and someone is available 24 hours per day, she said. Current volunteer advocates, all women, come from all walks of life and all age groups, Beatson said, and go through an intensive training process before they can assist victims.

Winter Storms, Super Bowl Monday And Flipping Seasons

This is one of those weeks where I have about half-a-dozen things running through my head, and I think I should cram as many of them into one column as possible. Like, for example, my social media feeds were filled with lots of angst Monday morning from people who were moaning and groaning that the day after the Super Bowl isn’t already a national holiday and a day off for all of America.
